Okay, dear readers. I’m going to give you the list of tomorrow’s semi-final five specialist subjects. See if you can work out which one would be my banker and which one looks like a Londinius nul points.
British Prime Ministers of the 18th Century
Rock band The Stranglers 1974 – 1990
American Poet Elizabeth Bishop
Oscar Winning Animated Feature films
It’s easy for me to say where the nul points are likely to
be scored. I’m afraid that I am not at all familiar with the American poet
Elizabeth Bishop, so any points there look very unlikely.
As for the other three subjects, they each have the
potential to being me one or two, but none of them looks like a secure source
of points. I liked the Stranglers a lot really from the end of the punk period
through the early – mid 80s, but how many questions in the round will relate to
this I don’t know. I know a bit about all Prime Ministers, but nowhere near as
much about the 18th century ones as I do about the 19th
century ones. Then Oscar Winning Animated Feature films. I’m not clear about the
parameters of this round. Does it mean just films that won the Oscar for Best
Animated feature film, or does it mean animated feature films that won ANY
Oscar? The former has only been going since 2001 so that’s really doable. The
later – not so much.
Forecast – well I’d always rather underforecast than overforecast,
so let’s save anything higher than five would be pretty good for me.
